ABSTRACT
This paper presents the effects of Frank- Kamenetskii parameter on Flames with Chain- breaking and Chain-branching kinetics. The combustion equation describing the phenomenon was non-dimensionnalised to arrive at dimensionless equations. The existence and uniqueness of the solution was proved using upper and lower solution method .The properties of equation were also examined. The numerical solution showed that the steady problem has at least two solutions under certain conditions using finite difference scheme and Runge- kutta of order four and the result obtained were presented graphically. It was observed that temperature profile increases as the Frank- Kamenetskii increases.
INTRODUCTION
Combustion waves have been studied for several years and still a subject or research. They have been observed in numerous experiments and play an important role in industrial processes, such as one of the current technologies for creating advanced
materials”, Self-propagating
High-temperature Synthesis (SHS)
Jang T. and Raduleson M.I. (2012) investigated dynamics of shock induced ignition in Fickett’s model with chain-branching kinetics. A close form analytical solution was obtained by the method of characteristics and high activation energy asymptotic.
Huangwei and Zheng (2011) investigated spherical flame initiation and propagation with thermally sensisitive intermediate kinetics. The analytical result and simulation of result were obtained. Flame spherical propagation showed to be strongly affected by the Lewis number of fuel and radicals as well as the heat of reaction.
Ayeni and Waheed (2005) examined a
mathematical model of cigarette-like
combustion using high activation energy asymptotics .Of particular interest were question of existence and uniquiness.It
showed that the steady temperature
increases as the Frank-Kamenetskii
parameter 1 increases.
Olayiwola ,Olatunji,Ajao,Waheed and
Lanlege (2013) investigated effect of Frank-Kamenetskii parameter on the propagation of forward and opposed shouldering combustion .The properties of solution was examined under certain condition while the equation was solved analytically using asymptotic expansion. It was discovered that Frank-Kamenetskii parameter played a
crucial role in the slow burning process and the temperature decreased and species is consumed in the spatial direction.
Olarenwaju, P. O., Ayeni, R. O., Adesanya A. O., Fenugi, O. J. and Adegbile, E. A (2007) examined the effect of activation emerges and strong viscous dissipation term on two-step Arrhenius combustion reactions to give further insight into the theory of
combustion under physical reasonable
assumption. They extend the non-uniformly of vessels discussed in Olarewaju (2007). In a uniform vessel, maximum temperature occurs towards the end of the tube on the other hand, in a uniform vessel, maximum temperature occurs at the centre. Also maximum temperature for diverging or converging channel is greater than that of a uniform vessel.
Olarewaju P.O. (2005) examined solutions of two-step reactions with variable thermal conductivity. He considered not only the generalized temperature dependences of reaction rate, but he also proposed suitable approximation of the kinetics reactions in the limit of large/small activation energy. Gubernov, V. V. and Kim, J. S. (2006) studied the steady travelling waves in the adiabatic model with two-step chain
branching reaction mechanisms was

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The existence and uniqueness of problem is proved by the actual solution. Also the analytical solution of the equation (3.4) was given by Equation (3.1.15) - (3.1.18). For the unsteady state reaction, numerical simulations have been carried out for different values of λ1, .The numerical
evaluations of the unsteady of temperature flame profiles are presented in Figures 1 and 2. It shows that the flames temperature
increases with increase in Frank-Kamenestikii parameter λ1. For the steady

CONCLUSION
For the burning process associated with chain-breaking and chain-branching
kinectics, analytical solution was sought for in steady state. The governing parameter for the problem under study is
Frank-Kamenetskill number. From the studies made on this paper we concluded that Frank-Kamenetskill number enhances the flame temperature.
